It would be really nice if the client/server interface could be
fixed up to remove the tuple size limits by the time the embedded
perl interface is added.   I think preloading some perl functions
to get arbitrarily processed output back from a select would be
handy for a lot of uses, and even better if we didn't have to worry
about the size of the returned "record".
